Basic Setup
Things to consider before installation
•
The camera should be installed between 8ft and 13ft above the area to be monitored.
•
Before screwing in the camera mount, please ensure there are no obstructions in the camera's view.
•
Place cameras in strategic areas to provide the most detailed footage i.e. recording video of every visitor.
•
Having the camera in the open for people to see can help deter criminals.
•
To cover large, dark areas such as backyards, garages, and driveways, place cameras in strategic locations, such
as on the roof or deck, this way, less cameras are needed to cover an area.
•
Ensure that the sunshade is positioned to avoid glare and be sure to position camera away from direct sunlight
or other light sources.
•
For best results, the light in front of the camera should be about the same brightness as the light around the
area or object being monitored.
•
Decide whether the camera will be wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted*, or sit on a desk/tabletop. If you are mount-
ing the camera on a wall or ceiling*, use the included mounting hardware. We recommend that the mounting
bracket is secured using the included screws for all installations.
•
Each camera comes with 65ft of video/power wire. Please make sure that you mount the cameras no
more than 195ft from the DVR. If longer wiring distance is required, extension cables can be purchased
(21007/21008/21009) from your local re-seller or at www.defender-usa.com.
•
We recommend using a surge-protected power bar to protect the camera's internal circuitry.
Mounting the cameras
1. Decide if the camera will be wall-mounted or sit on a desk/
tabletop. The camera can be adjusted for either mounting
scenario by rotating it to the required position.
2. Screw the mounting bracket into the camera's mounting hole,
turning it clockwise.
3. Mount the camera in the desired location no more than 65 ft from
the DVR unless you have purchased additional wiring. You may
mount the cameras on a wall, ceiling* or desk.
4. Ensure that the cameras are strongly secured.
5. Adjust cameras to the desired viewing angles.
6. For additional help on mounting the cameras, please see the
drilling template, located at the back of the manual.
*Not all camera styles can be mounted on the ceiling. Please read the camera installation instructions specific to your
camera before installation.
